These are some gesture drawings I made for the Parashell parasol. These don’t serve any technical purpose but help in fleshing out the shape of future prototype concepts.

Still Sculpting.
Sculpting is my passion. It has been since I was a child. For me, designing umbrellas and parasols lies somewhere between sculpture and architecture. Sometimes I even have to do some woodcarving for my prototypes. Reductive sculpting may not be my forte but it brings me a lot of pleasure.
Parashell Parasol Maquette
I’ve being working on this project for more than 12 years now. It all started with a sketch I made as a student in art school. I never let go of the idea, and continued sketching. I then started making maquettes. The 3 dimensional maquettes informed he next series of drawings which then led to the initial prototyping stage.
